IN "TUMBLEWEEDS’

Bill Hart is at his best in
"Tumbleweeds,” a picture o f true
Western type.
The greatest land
rush in the history o f the United

The
entire cast is strong.
Be sure to see Bill Hart as a
typical “ tumbleweed” described in
the old tumbleweed song,
“ Oh, I’m a rollin’ rambler,”
Said the tumblin' tumbleweed)
“ The praries are my racetrack,
The wild wind is my steed I”
